I Married Marge - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: In the episode which recalls how Homer and Marge got married, Homer writes a note to Marge on a piece of paper entitled 'From The Pen Of Patty' he SCRIBBLES out Patty's name and writes his own, but when Marge reads the note, 'Patty' only has a single straight line through it. The word "HOMER" also changes. (00:14:30)

I Married Marge - S3-E12

Other mistake: When Marge sees the letter from Homer, she says "You won't see me again until I'm a man." On the paper though, it reads 'But you will not see me-' and the sentence is cut off, and the rest of the paper is blank. (00:16:10)

I Married Marge - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Homer and Marge are discussing the pregnancy test, the pattern on the bathroom walls, disappears and reappears, and in one shot, there's pattern on one side of the wall, but not on the other.

Tree House of Horror V - S6-E6

Question: Homer travels back in time and causes changes by what he does in the past, like stepping on a bug. I once saw a movie with the same basic plot: some people travel back in time and are told to be careful not to disturb anything, but when they return to their time everything has changed. In the end they discover it was because they stepped on a butterfly. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Answer: I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but an episode of "Ray Bradbury Theatre," called "A Sound of Thunder," dealt with a similar matter: a group of hunters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs, only to find things have changed when they get back because someone stepped on a butterfly.
